Creating a distinctively synth-like sound
A synthesizer can produce distinctive sounds that could never be played by
an acoustic instrument. The “mewing” sound of a sharp filter closing down
is an example of a sound we associate with synthesizers.
To create the distinctive character of an analog synthesizer, start by adjusting the resonance, and then
adjust the cutoff. These two parameters are the basis for typical analog synth lead or pad sounds and
techno-sequence sounds.

It’s effective to adjust the cutoff (described in Tip 1, above) while you perform. Even simple phrases will
become more interesting if you move the cutoff while the sound continues. Using this technique, you can
even create a memorable phrase from a single note.
